"TODAY I choose to live with gratitude for the LOVE that fills my heart, the
PEACE that rests within my spirit, and the VOICE of HOPE that says ALL
things are POSSIBLE." ~unknown
Thought and Quote for the day: What do you think life would be like if you practice the need for “controlling” the “wants”? I'm going to concentrate on the fact that everything is exactly the way it should be and perfect the way it is. It’s not healthy for someone to live in the "shoulds" of our life, it’s not truly living and being happy. True living and happiness is being present in the now and embracing what you do have rather than what you don’t have. That is my thought for the day and for every day on out. I will try
"I Release the Need to Determine How things 'Should' Be." ~Wayne Dyer
You know how you get those people in your life who just bring you down? It can be family or friends, or a stranger. When you find someone doing that I think its because they feel bad about themselves so they have to say things and do things to bring you down to make themselves feel better.
I'm the type of person that looks at the good in others and I like to think that for some it's natural and maybe they don't realize how they are coming off and what they are doing. But I know better and I know that there are people in this world that do know exactly what they are doing and enjoy making others feel bad.
Life's too short to waste your time on those who bring you down. Move on and stay connected with those who lift you up and want to see you succeed.
Here are some "Lift People Up" quotes enjoy!
- "Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher." ~Oprah Winfrey
- "Friends are angels who lift our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly." ~ unknown
- "
The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity
to start over no matter what my circumstances." ~Robert Flatt
- "Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right"...
~Phillips Brooks, "An Easter Carol"
- 'Twas Easter-Sunday. The full-blossomed trees
Filled all the air with fragrance and with joy.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Spanish Student
Today is a beautiful day with a little chill in the air. I'm looking forward to warmer days and the spring time weather. I have some work to do in my garden with planting some roses and some flowers. Do you have the day off this Presidents day? Today I'm going to be working on my websites, I have a new website I'm working on that should be done soon. I will keep you posted on that in the meantime here is my thought for the day!
No matter how good or bad you think life is, wake up each day and be
thankful for life. Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive. ♥
